Well, it's wholly within the 20' x 20' space the gargantuan creature controls. The creature itself needn't be as big.So when a gargantuan creature casts Globe of invulnerability, the Globe is wholly inside the creature?
If a spell creates an AoE and has a range of self, then the point of origin for the effect is the creature that casts the spell. If the AoE is a sphere, then the sphere's point of origin (i.e. the creature) is included in (i.e. is not additive to) the sphere's AoE. The radius of a sphere, not its point of origin, defines the size of the sphere.Both that spell, and Spirit Guardians expressly state they create a 10' (or 15' for SG) radius 'around you'. To me that implies (in fact it expressly states) that you measure the radius starting at the outer edge of the creature casting it (or in this case, their space for simplicity) and not some nebulous point inside the creature.
If I were to draw a 10' radius around a sports stadium, I'd have a 10' radius around a sports stadium, and not a 10' circle in the middle of the playing field.
